It was originally built by a professor as a tool to teach some web application design principles. We ended up going with Django because there just wasn't a lot of information about anyone using it in production for anything large scale like we were looking for. Django seemed to be a little bit more "enterprisey". However, I remember being pretty impressed with how easy it was to get up and running. It seemed pretty powerful and simple. If I were starting out a new project I would definitely take a look at it again.
